A note on the latest patch (FLS 5.0)

All my Mod's are currently compatible with the new FLS patch. I have spent the last week reviewing various things, and self testing them and it all seems to be working as it should.

I use many of my own Mods, and all seem to be working fine with no bugs. As ever, they have been tested running Baxim's EGC with Inteen3 as my Game Core so definitely EGC compatible, definitely Un-Core Modded compatible, and probably Awesome compatible but I haven't checked.

Enjoy.

Free Your Pregnant Sim: Completed

Welcome to my most in depth Mod yet.

This Mod will unlock interactions for pregnant Sims. I have unlocked just about everything there is to be unlocked except for those noted below.

The Mod is modular, so you can unlock any interactions you want singley, or just unlock them all. They are all compatible with each other and won't conflict

What This Mod Does
This Mod allows your pregnant Sim's to do the following:
Explore the Mausoleum
Get a Job (Ambitions or RabbitHole) and register as Self Employed.
Practise Martial Arts (Board Breaker, Training Dummy, and Sparring, see "Almost Bugs" below for more details)
Work Out on the Treadmill (according to the code, they should be able to Pump Iron already, must admit, I haven't checked)
Play on the Trampoline (Ambitions)
Time Travel

What this Mod does not do
This Mod will NOT allow you to Plan Outfit or get a Makeover/Tatoo while pregnant. This was a deliberate choice, as there is no way for the game to only show Maternity Wear in CAS (as far as I know) and I didn't want you to end up with Sim's who don't look pregnant.

Compatibility
This Mod was built on a machine with Base Game+WA+HELS+AMB game version 4.2 but has also been tested by my BETA tester Marcella17 who confirms it works on Base Game+AMB 4.0.

The Jobs and Careers part of this Mod is probably NOT Pre-Ambitions compatible, due to the fact it references the Ambitions Professions, if someone can confirm this, I will make one that doesn't have the Ambitions Careers in it.

This Mod SHOULD be compatible with all other Mods, (including Core Mods) unless they edit the XML for the interaction you unlock, Specifically No Autonomy Mods for any of the Interactions you install will conflict. (For instance if you have a "No Autonomous Work Out" Mod, it will conflict with the WorkoutonEquipment package.)

Also attached is a list of all the XML's modified in this Mod. This Mod will conflict with Mods that edit the same files. (I didnt put them in the post because there are so many of them, and I know people only skim read these things anyway)

Almost Bugs
The following aren't really bugs, but you should be aware of them.

Sim's practising Martial Arts will lose their bump, this is due to a lack of pregnancy morphs for Martial Art clothing.

Some Career outfits will cause your Sim to lose the bump (again lack of morphs)

If your Sim gets a job while already pregnant, they will not get maternity leave, and will just go to work the next day as normal.

Some Ambitions Professions may not work correctly while pregnant. (you may not be able to peform all the actions needed on a job) I have unlocked all I could find, but be aware that I'm fairly certain I haven't unlocked all of them. If you get this issue then I suggest you "Take Unpaid Time Off" via the phone.

Actual Bugs
The "Pregnancy Moodlet" disappears after a while, expecially if the Sim in question gets a job while pregnant. Im guessing this is the game doing a sanity check, and going "Well she has just got a job, she can't possibly be pregnant" and removing the moodlet.

Okie dokie, I think thats everything. Enjoy
